Bottle shared by Dr Silverworm. Poured clear pale color with an average white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy aroma of green apple and floral. Medium to abundant body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet apple complex flavor with a medium to heavy complex sweet finish of moderate to long duration. My expectations were surpassed.

750 ml bottle to snifter (shared by DrSilverworm). Looks good; a transparent light gold with white head that steadily dissipates into lacing. Smells appley with notes of fresh baked bread. Tastes like it smells with a solid, lively mouthfeel. Not bad.

Bottle from New Beer($11.95). 2008.70.1, 1568 produced. Been sitting on this one for a bit. Guess I forgot about it. Oops.
Chalice. Clear, classic light amber beer color. Crazy activity. A quick blitzing, white soda pop head.
Smells of fresh linen. Bittersweet flesh. Restrained floral peel. Wet gravel.
Tastes of minerally & tannic juice along with gritty/coarse/thick apple skin. Big, grappa-ish alcohol. Touch of plastic & leftover yeast.
Microbeaded, crazy spirited, & bone dry. Medium to moderate tartness, with surprisingly low acidity, that seems to make it feel that much more mellow. No big zesty punch to it, but at the same time, Im glugging this one down without much hesitation.

Enjoyed via a tasting at the winery. Pours a light yellow with a small white head - not very carbonated. The smell is clean - like outdoor in summer. The taste is of tart apples with watery palate. A good, dry cider.

On tap at GTMW - Pours straw yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is light, dry apple, with a touch of cinnamon. Taste is dry and tart apple, smooth as hell, with a dry finish that has just a touch of spice. Light and effervescent in the mouth...very nice.
